Gently remove the staples and cut the inner G out of the printout. Get a piece of blue felt and staple the logo to it.
Print it out and cut around the circle only to start. Save it to your computer, drop it into a word processing document and edit the image so the height is what you need. I found the image by searching ‘Gru logo’ on Google Images. Determine the height of the front pocket on the overalls – mine was 3″. If your kid sounds like mine, you can also purchase a party pack of paper Minion goggles for cheap (my dollar store carries them) and attach them to the hat (sort of like I did with the vases for his Minion party). While we do have a pair, he is only 2 and doesn’t like to keep them on for long so the hat is a better fit for my little guy. Your local toy store will most likely have Minion goggles available for purchase. Fold a black pipe cleaner in half and stick each of the pointy ends through the top of the hat and give a little twist to keep in place. If you are not so lucky, you can craft one very easily with a yellow toque (that’s a winter hat for you non-Canadians). She made this hat for Little J for his birthday. I lucked out with the hat as my friend loves to crochet. The Gru logo and the Minion hat are where you will need to flex your creative muscles. The black shoes were easy as he already has a pair of awesome Vans Nintendo runners that are black on the front. The overalls are the perfect Canadian winter pair – they are lined with plaid fleece! These will also get a lot of use over the winter. The yellow shirt is actually a Minion shirt! It will get far more use than just on Halloween. I found the shirt and overalls at my local used kids’ clothing store for deep deep discount prices.
Gru logo (you’ll need blue & black felt).So it only made sense that he be a Minion for Halloween.Īssembling a Minion costume really could not be any easier. You can check out his birthday party for proof. He lives and breathes Gru and all things yellow. He was high-fiving strangers and even people in rather scary costumes and let people take his picture… A LOT.In case you missed the memo, Little J is all about Minions. My son, who is a little shy at times, expressed total confidence while wearing this costume. A yellow minion pajama shirt, black mittens, and black shoes completes the look. Once inside, the opening closes completely shut with a Velcro strip the length of the opening. There is an opening in the back of the body, from above the crotch area of the overalls to around the neck area, so that my son could step into the costume. The felt was then hot glued to the top of the head. The hair is made from pipe cleaners bent in half and stuck through a piece of yellow felt. The legs of the overalls are hot glued together (no sewing at all in this costume!). The overalls, buttons, Gru symbol, eyes, and goggle strap are all cut from various colors of felt and hot glued into place. I painted them with silver metallic spray paint. The goggles are made from oatmeal canisters with hot glue dotted around the outside to make the rivets. Once they were shaped using scissors and hot glue, I spray painted the body and lips yellow, the teeth white, and then attached the lips and teeth with hot glue to the mouth cutout. To make the costume, I used part of a foam egg-crate mattress topper for the body, lips, and teeth. I wanted him to look like the real thing, so I started searching the internet and found several creative and clever ideas during an extensive Pinterest search. I made this no-sew “Kevin the Minion” costume for my 2-year old son, Mason, who loved (and still loves) the Minions. This little guy truly does look like he’s a part of Minionkind in this costume!Ī message from Sarah, the creator of the ‘DIY No Sew Kevin the Minion’ kids costume: It has a mascot style to it that makes it super realistic in shape and design.
This Kevin the Minion costume will surely grab the attention of anyone who was a fan of the little creatures.
